In an instant, a deafening explosion, as if it could shatter the soul, sounded and resounded throughout the entire sea of thunder!
“Sizzle——!!!”
A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly erupted, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it, as if even the sky was lit up by the light.
What followed was an even more terrifying energy ripple, like a huge rock thrown into a lake, which spread out madly and indiscriminately in all directions with the collision point as the center.
Wherever the ripples passed, the space was violently distorted, the Thunder Dragon roared in pain, and its body shook violently. The surrounding sea of thunder even set off huge waves, and countless thunders were swept up in it and annihilated in an instant!
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was the most ferocious black magic thunder that was hit directly by the giant thunder halberd.
It seemed as if it was struck fiercely by a divine axe that created the world. The dark thunder around it seemed to be detonated in an instant, and began to madly disintegrate, break apart, and shatter into pieces!
The core that condensed the power of destruction actually disintegrated under this blow, turning into black light and dissipating in the violent energy impact.
And the giant thunder halberd, after defeating the first black magic thunder, its momentum did not diminish at all! Like a ferocious beast that had tasted blood, it continued to rush forward with even more violent rage.
Along the way, two more black magic thunders that were closely chasing Mang Tianchi were unfortunately swept by this unstoppable giant halberd, and also collapsed in an instant and turned into nothing!
With just one halberd, he defeated three black magic thunders that were as powerful as the full force of a Dou Sheng! Such power was simply earth-shattering and weeping!
After the giant thunder halberd defeated the three black magic thunders, it did not stop at all. With the violent power that had not yet completely dissipated, it continued to move forward, turning into a dazzling lightning and rushing towards the depths of the even deeper sea of thunder.
After this attack, the dozens of extremely ferocious black magic thunders that were chasing Mang Tian Chi closely seemed to have received an unprecedented provocation.
They suddenly stopped in the air, their ferocious forms seemed to be distorted, and then they all turned around and completely gave up chasing the frightened Mang Tian Chi.
These dark thunders, as if driven by some instinct, all changed direction, roaring and screaming, launching an even more violent pursuit towards the giant thunder halberd that rushed into the depths of the sea of thunder!
The sea of thunder seemed to be disturbed and surged violently again. Countless thunders were rolled up, forming huge whirlpools and waves.
In the rolling thunderclouds, the giant thunder halberd was the first to sink into the depths of the sea of thunder and disappeared in the even dimmer lightning.
Almost at the same time, dozens of angry black magic thunders followed closely behind, like black arrows, drilling into the deepest part of the sea of thunder and completely sinking into it.
In the blink of an eye, the surface of the sea of thunder returned to calm, as if the earth-shattering halberd strike and the subsequent pursuit had never happened.
However, beneath the calm, a dull and huge roar continued to be heard, faintly coming through the thick thunderclouds.
This sound seemed to come from the end of the world, and it also seemed to explode right next to the ear, proving what a shocking collision had just occurred in the depths of the sea of thunder.
On the other side, Mang Tianchi finally escaped from the pursuit of the black magic thunder that was like a maggot on his tarsal bones.
When the fatal threat was temporarily lifted, he felt his whole body go limp. The fatigue and fear from forcing the remaining strength in his body and running wildly regardless of his injuries instantly surged into his heart, making him almost unable to stand.
He gasped for breath, trying to calm his pounding heart and disordered breathing.
Having temporarily solved the problem, Mang Tianchi immediately forced himself to support his tired body, raised his head with difficulty, and looked in the direction of Xiao Ling.
In the illumination of lightning, before he even had time to see the young face clearly, the gratitude for surviving the disaster surged in his heart like a tide.
Almost instinctively, he bowed, his voice hoarse from the previous shock and current exhaustion, yet filled with sincerity and fear. "Thank you for your help, sir! If it weren't for your timely assistance, I'm afraid I would have been doomed."
However, the next words that reached his ears made Mang Tianchi, who was still in shock, stunned again.
"Haha, Dean, please don't be so reserved." Xiao Ling's voice was heard clearly through the roar of thunder. "I am a student of Canaan College. It is only natural for students to help the dean."
Chapter 646 Recognition
After hearing what Xiao Ling said and falling into a daze for the first time, Mang Tianchi's face, which was still a little dazed, slowly regained a look of scrutiny.
Subconsciously, he looked carefully at the young man in front of him who was sitting on the head of the thunder dragon, with an air of pride and sharpness.
At first, Mang Tianchi just thought that this young man had an extraordinary bearing and a terrifying aura, but on second thought, he felt something was wrong.
Judging from his cultivation level of a mid-stage semi-saint and his unrealistically young face, Mang Tianchi muttered to himself that the man in front of him must have used some secret method to disguise his real age.
After all, he really couldn't imagine how there could be such a young monster in this world who could reach the level of a semi-saint?
This level of cultivation, even in the Thunder Clan with its profound heritage, is a top talent that is rare in a thousand years. It is enough to make people stare in amazement and directly make him a strong candidate for the next clan leader.
But this kid is clearly not from one of their seven ancient tribes. How could such a monster suddenly appear?
To the outside world, this was unheard of and completely overturned his cognition.
The more Mang Tianchi read on, the stronger the inexplicable feeling in his heart became. Why did this person in front of him look so familiar to him?
Almost instinctively, he began to search frantically in the depths of his memory.
Gradually, the face of the young man in front of me, like an ancient scroll covered with a layer of fog, was unveiled bit by bit and became clearer.
Then, something amazing happened.
That blurry, young face actually began to slowly and gradually overlap with a portrait in my mind that I had seen long ago.
The young man in the portrait had a somewhat unruly look between his brows, but his eyes were deep and sharp that did not match his age. However, he seemed even more immature in the portrait.
And when the outlines completely overlapped, Mang Tianchi's eyes, which were originally a little surprised, suddenly widened slightly. Deep in the pupils, a trace of incredible shock spread out like a stone thrown into a quiet lake.
He opened his mouth, but found that he could not make any sound for a moment.
After a moment, Mang Tianchi was still staring at Xiao Ling tremblingly, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he was afraid that he had seen something wrong.
Even the tone of his own voice was filled with a hint of doubt and excitement that was hard to conceal.
"Could it be... you... what you just said is true?" He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound steady, but he couldn't help but tremble. "Are you really a student of Canaan College?"
Faced with Mang Tianchi's expression of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, Xiao Ling was actually amused by his appearance and couldn't help but chuckle.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise and a certain sense of rightness, and said with a startled smile: "Master Dean, what you said is quite unorthodox."
He paused, his tone full of matter-of-factness, "Do I really need to joke with you about this kind of thing?"
Mang Tianchi listened to Xiao Ling's words and started to think about it.
That's true. Given the strength that the person in front of him had shown before, there was no need to joke about such a thing at such a critical moment of life and death.
So, he set his gaze on Xiao Ling again, looking at him carefully, and the suspicion in his heart became even stronger at this moment.
"Looking at your appearance... could it be that the guy Su Qian has often mentioned in his letters to me in recent years... the one called Xiao Ling, is that you?"
When he spoke the last few words, Mang Tianchi's voice was filled with a hint of incredible ecstasy, and his eyes became brighter. He stared at Xiao Ling, waiting for his answer.
Mang Tianchi had naturally heard of the name Xiao Ling before.
Although he has been wandering outside for many years and rarely returns to Canaan College, Su Qian, as the grand elder of Canaan College, often sends him messages to report on the latest developments in the college.
Xiao Ling is undoubtedly the person Su Qianxin mentions most frequently and talks about the most.
Thoughts raced through Mang Tianchi's mind, and fragments of information about the young man in front of him began to be quickly pieced together.
From his initial rise to prominence in the Northwest Continent to his subsequent relentless march across the Central Plains, his speed was truly incredible. In just a few short years, he had become a household name, his illustrious reputation spreading far and wide.
He had even heard about the honor of being the leader of the Dan Society through various channels and knew what a world-shaking event it was.
All of this was not entirely unfamiliar to Mang Tianchi. In the old man Su Qian's letters, he often mentioned it casually, his words unable to conceal his admiration and pride for this disciple.
And what he himself saw and heard during his travels in Zhongzhou over the years also confirmed what was said in the letter in bits and pieces, and even added more unknown details.
At this moment, these scattered impressions suddenly became clear like a surface of water with a stone thrown into it, and finally converged into the young, sharp and handsome face in front of me.
Mang Tianchi felt a huge shock in his heart. He could never have imagined that in such a desperate situation where his life was on the line, he would meet face to face with that outstanding disciple whom he had only heard of in Su Qianxin and rumors but had never met in such an incredible and thrilling way.
However, based on rumors and information he heard from Su Qian, Mang Tianchi originally thought that although Xiao Ling had an amazing talent for cultivation and had reached the Dou Zun level at a young age, this was already his limit.
What is more commendable is actually his attainments in alchemy. After all, at the alchemy conference, he refined an eighth-grade nine-color elixir in one fell swoop. Now he is even known as the number one alchemist on the continent.
However, what he saw now was completely different from this information. Just looking at the terrifying aura that permeated Xiao Ling's body and almost condensed into a substance, it was clear that he was already a powerful semi-saint!
Moreover, the attack launched by the Thunder Dragon just now was so powerful and continuous that it was probably beyond the ability of an ordinary semi-saint to release. Even Mang Tianchi himself might not be able to withstand it steadily in his prime.
This was so different from the Xiao Ling he knew, and all the signs didn't match up. This made him feel unbelievable at the moment, and he couldn't help but have many speculations, so he couldn't help but ask.
Hearing Mang Tianchi's question and seeing the obvious speculation and disbelief on his face, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and understood.
He understood immediately that Mang Tianchi had probably guessed his identity and had heard some things about him, but the news was so far different from the actual situation he saw before his eyes that he wanted to confirm it but also found it hard to believe, and his heart was in turmoil.
However, Xiao Ling did not intend to hide anything.
He chuckled lightly, and with a hint of complacency, he said in a clear voice: "The dean is right, the student is Xiao Ling."
After a pause, he changed the subject, speaking with a hint of joking and undisguised pride: "It seems the dean has heard of my reputation. Tsk tsk, it seems my years in Zhongzhou haven't been in vain!"
Hearing Xiao Ling's admission in person, although Mang Tianchi had some premonition in his heart, he still couldn't help but be shocked again, as if he was struck by thunder.
He spoke quickly, his voice trembling with excitement: "It's really you, kid! I really... I never expected that it would be such a coincidence to meet you today in such a weird place and under such circumstances!"
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, his eyes filled with disbelief. "According to Su Qian, how old are you? Early twenties, right? How...how is it possible that you have such a high level of cultivation? Your strength is unfathomable, almost bottomless! Heroes truly emerge from youth!"
Xiao Ling remained calm despite Mang Tianchi's excitement that made him almost jump up. His face remained calm, as if he was already accustomed to Mang Tianchi's shock.
I've heard words like this so many times in these years of working outside that my ears are almost callused.
Things like genius, evildoer, unfathomable, rare in a century, once in a thousand years, are no longer new.
In his opinion, it was not surprising to see Mang Tianchi like this at the moment.
Meanwhile, Mang Tianchi was still nodding his head repeatedly, as if he was still trying to digest this fact:
"I've heard about your deeds in Zhongzhou before, and I already thought you were quite remarkable. But seeing you today... Alas! It seems you still hide your true abilities in front of outsiders!"
"That old fellow Su Qian has really recruited an incredible student for our Canaan College!"
After Mang Tianchi finished speaking, he was filled with emotion. Xiao Ling then took over the conversation, chuckled, and said with a bit of fake levity:
"You're joking, Dean. Back when we were at Canaan Academy, Elder Su Qian always mentioned you. Your reputation is well-known to the students."
He paused, his tone becoming playful:
"The Great Elder also specifically instructed me that if I happened to meet the Dean in Zhongzhou, I should respectfully address him as Dean and ask him to take good care of me."
At this point, Xiao Ling couldn't help but curl up a teasing smile, his eyes swept over the surrounding thunderstorm that had not yet completely dissipated, and then looked at Mang Tianchi's embarrassed look just now, and changed the subject, with a bit of self-deprecation and a bit of surprise:
"I really didn't expect this, Dean. Look at this fate. I've been in Zhongzhou for so long, and after so many twists and turns, I finally met you for the first time. It's not that you're looking after me, but I, your student, am helping you out and helping you get out of this predicament."
"To be honest, this is something I really didn't expect."
Hearing Xiao Ling's teasing, Mang Tianchi's newly-risen sense of pride and honor for having such an outstanding student suddenly became uncontrollable, and instead he felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
He subconsciously touched his face, which had been struck by the black magic lightning and was now even more red, and coughed twice, then quickly waved his hand to explain:
"N-Nah! That's not true! I... I was just curious and went a little... a little bit deeper into this void thunder pool. Who would have thought that this damn place would encounter an accident and suddenly riot, and I... I was unfortunately affected by it!"
His voice was a little unnatural, trying to shift the blame to the uncontrollable riot in Lei Chi.
"You kid don't know how dangerous the depths of the Void Thunder Pool are!"
